THESGs AEGLEcrED.

The citizens Of SEATTLE have done
much toward building up their city and
preparing IL to enter upon the fulall
ment Of its great destiny. They have
opened aud graded streets, built street
railroads, aud provided 9 magnificent
water works . stem and unexeeIIed ia
eilities for lighting. In . hundred ways
they have prepared their city for CON-
meroial greatness.
In one matter. however, ct hFst
thought apparently unimpoFtant, bat
really Of great consequences. they have
shown q strange degree Of negligence
There IL not 10 the city q street Of
which the name IL Displayed for the
guidance Of strangers. A person can
walk from one end Of Seattle to the
sther without seeing q street sign. and
strangers are Invariably 81 Ioss 10 fnd
any locality Of which they are In
search.
On every street corner the names Of
the intsrsecting streets should be 20
plainly displayed that an absolute
stranger should hnd little difficulty in
making bis uay 10 any part Of She city.
Such precautions are taken Ia every
city In the United States which makes
presensiens TO impoFtanca. The pIaa
ing Of street signs Ia 90 uuquastionably
Q convenience 10 the public that the
tFiHins expense Of procuring end plas-
Ina signs is scarcely worthy Of sonsid
Grafton.
OF course, persons who are familiar
With the city do not notice the absence Of
such guides, and this is probably the
reason that they have never been pro
vided. Strangers, however. misc then
greatly. Any one who has started to
ind Q given point in strange city car
appreciate the great value Of stree,
signs sufficient 10 number and prop-
eFly placed.
The matter Of numbering houses has
also been oenducted In q haphazard
way. The regulations 10 this respect
are COED enough. bat they have moi
been enforced. The result would b,
amusing II II we're not 90 often provsk
Ing. About one house In every Eve i,
numbered, ahd about one ont Of ever,
five numbered houses Is pumbsree
properly. Apparently the owners o.
property 10 many cases have chosen such
numbers as suited their fancy and dis
played them upon their front doors
The result IL confusing, 10 Say the least
These two neglected things should b,
attended to OF once. At a comparativel,
slight expense street signs could b.
placed at every corner, and an effort tc
enforce an ordinance 10 that effect vouIs
soon lead TO general aud systematic
Numbering OF houses. The improve
ment would be noticed Immediately, e.
peciAlly by strangers and those not IA
milisr with the city. For another rec
son. also, these matters should be al
tended TO. The regulations Of the Pos,
sffce Department require the proper
marking Of streets and houses before
the free delivery system Is established
ina city. Seattle is now entitled TO the
free delivery and 4, would probably be
accorded. IL few simple requirements
we're complied with.

The Arab Soldier.

The Arab looks very well on horse

suit the taste of the shires. His saddle
is generally red, peaked before and be-

foot to rest on; it is pointed ut the cor

table is not complete without the New York Trib-

1856 have been the platform distinctly laid
down by The Tribune year ago The general re-
suit OF these elections shows that the Republican
party is on the RICH: track The gains of the year

plain guide to the popular drift The Tribune be-
leves that it is the urgent duty of the party to SO

correct ideas on Protection and Temperance

friends in every part of the country to assist this
work by forming Clubs for The Weekly Tribune,

The Only Way to CONQUER Dyspepsia.

1t Is perfectly preposterous to introduce
pepsin and other artificial solvents into
the stomach, in the expectation that they
will assist digestion by acting on the food

thus to overcome dyspepsia. The only
way to conquer that disorder, and prevent
the numerous diseases and disabilities
which it assuredly provokes, is to renew
